The Full Blog Of This Week:
The Hindu Way of Life
All of us should introduce ourselves as “Shivoham”. We are nothing but Shiva himself. Each one of us has to remind ourselves that we are in perpetual state of oneness with the the Brahman, the absolute, the transcendent, and the ultimate reality.
Reflection of the Week
When we have permanent remembrance of God, we reach the state of “Yoga”, the ultimate union between the Soul and Brahman, where you realize that you are actually Brahman himself.
Question Of The Week
Q - Why should we do mantra chanting?
A - Mantra is a tool, which can connect you to the deity of the mantra. It helps to focus the mind, cultivate inner peace, and connect with a higher spiritual energy all at the same time.
Do send us your questions through comments and we will try to cover them in our newsletter in coming weeks or through live interaction of Vanamali Mataji on Instagram.

Ayurvedic Health Tip Of The Week
Around 60% of our body is made up of water. The quality of water that we are drinking thereby creates a significant impact on our health. Think about boiling your water on an open flame, filtering it, and/or adding minerals and electrolytes to it (like a tiny sprinkle of rock salt or Himalayan pink salt) to improve the quality of the water that you are drinking. In Ayurveda, the type of metal vessels that you keep your water in, like copper, can also improve the trace metal status of the water.
